Talking Soup with 2SDW

November 17, 2006|Beth Feinstein-Bartl

Take five guys whose list of high-cholesterol influences include barbecue ribs and Velveeta cheese, give them instruments and it should be no surprise that they refer to their music as "country fried punk rock."

After three years of bringing foot-stomping, beer-swilling tunes to audiences throughout South Florida, so say the members of Two Story Double Wide (2SDW). The band from Delray Beach is on the cusp of releasing its first, full-length CD, Loudmouth Soup.

The disc features Mark "Iggy" DiLeonardo on mandolin and harmonica; Matthew T. Edrington on lead vocals and acoustic guitar; lead guitarist Chavo; bassist Jason "Cheese" Cusell; and drummer Otis Possum.

DiLeonardo said the project is finished and should be ready for its official release by the end of the year. He described the songs on Loudmouth Soup as a cutting-edge combination of country, metal and punk.

"Some call it punkabilly," he said.

Advance copies of the new CD will be available at 2SDW's gig tonight at the City Link Music Fest in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Folks can catch them performing such numbers as White Trash and Mohawk outdoors at the free show, around 11 p.m. on a stage in front of the nightclub Revolution, 100 SW Third Ave.
